NCT ID: NCT05783336 Completed - Clinical trials for Intimate Partner Violence

Stepping Stones and Creating Futures Plus Pilot

Start date: May 24, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this randomised controlled clinical trial is to test the Stepping Stones and Creating Futures Plus (SSCF+) intervention, in young (18-25 years) people living in urban informal settlements in Durban and rural communities in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

NCT ID: NCT03810300 Completed - Child Development Clinical Trials

Sustainability of Impacts of Cash Transfers, Food Transfers, and Behavior Change Communication in Bangladesh

TMRI
Start date: April 15, 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study assesses the sustainability of impacts, 4 years post-program, from a pilot safety net program that was implemented from May 2012-April 2014. The intervention, called the Transfer Modality Research Initiative (TMRI), was assigned following a cluster-randomized controlled trial design in two zones of Bangladesh (north and south). Intervention arms were assigned at the village level, where arms were as follows: (1) cash transfers [north and south]; (2) cash transfers + nutrition behavior communication change (BCC) [north only]; (3) food transfers [north and south]; (4) food transfers + nutrition BCC [south only]; (4) food-cash split [north and south]; and (5) control [north and south]. Within treatment villages, women living in very poor households were targeted to receive benefits for two years.

NCT ID: NCT03562910 Completed - Emergencies Clinical Trials

Mobile-based Social Services Screening and Referral Tool in an Pediatric Emergency Department

Start date: May 13, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study will determine the feasibility and effectiveness of using a mobile-based social services screening and referral tool in an urban pediatric Emergency Department (ED). Families will be offered the option to either download the tool, known as HelpSteps, as a mobile application ("app") on a personal cell phone or to use the app on a provided tablet. After leading the family through a brief social needs screening survey, HelpSteps will recommend local social service agencies based on identified needs and location. Families will then complete a brief survey on the ease of use of the tool as well as receive a follow-up call to ask about usefulness of the tool in solving social problems. The investigators will also ask physicians to fill out a brief survey about the use of the tool in the ED.

NCT ID: NCT03226548 Completed - Poverty Clinical Trials

Effect of EITC on Biological Markers of Aging, Health and Mortality

PaycheckPlus
Start date: December 20, 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Paycheck Plus (PP) is a randomized controlled experiment (RCT) that explores the health and longevity effects associated with increasing the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). EITC is a national program that provides tax credits to low-income, disproportionately minority workers who file taxes. EITC is politically popular, having received bipartisan support. The EITC, along with state supplemental programs, have 7 million American families out of poverty. The investigators' preliminary data analyses show that the EITC has had large population health impacts, reversing declines in self rated health and survival among the poorest Americans.

NCT ID: NCT03102775 Completed - Poverty Clinical Trials

Comprehensive Follow-up of Low Income Families. A Cluster-randomized Study

CRCT-HOLF
Start date: January 1, 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In a cluster-randomized design, the study evaluates the effectiveness of a skill- training program for social work professionals with the aim of improving the follow-up of low income families within Norwegian labor and welfare services. While the Norwegian Labor and Welfare Administration are responsible for developing and implementing the program, researchers at Oslo and Akershus University College are conducting an independent evaluation of its effectiveness. By close follow up and better coordination of existing services the model aims to improve the financial and housing situation of the family, labor market attachment among the parents and the social inclusion of children. The cluster-randomized field experiment will take place over a 40-month period, involving 29 labor and welfare offices, 58 family coordinators and, based on estimations, 650 families. The research is funded by the Norwegian Labor and Welfare Administration. The project is financed by Labour and Welfare Administration and led by Ira Malmberg-Heimonen, Faculty of Social Sciences. Participants in the project are: Ira Malmberg-Heimonen (project leader), Anne Grete Tøge, Krisztina Gyüre, Knut Fossestøl, Marianne Rugkåsa, Berit Bergheim and Tone Liodden.

NCT ID: NCT02959866 Completed - Social Isolation Clinical Trials

Implementation and Impact of an Online Tool Used in Primary Care to Improve Income Security

Start date: May 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

We will evaluate the acceptability, feasibility and impact of an online tool that helps patients identify financial benefits that they are entitled to at six clinic sites over a three month period. We will answer the following questions: Is an online tool that addresses income security feasible and acceptable to clinicians? Can such a tool be integrated into regular clinic workflow? What is the patient perspective on the tool and what is the short-term impact?

NCT ID: NCT02858011 Completed - Child Malnutrition Clinical Trials

The Effect of a Cash Transfer Program and Preventive Nutrition Packages on Household Welfare and Child Nutritional Status in Mali

Jigisemejiri
Start date: September 2014
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

In the last two decades, cash transfer (CT) programs have emerged as a popular approach to long-term poverty alleviation. While the main goal of cash transfer programs is to reduce poverty, they also have the potential to improve many development outcomes, such as health and education. While many studies, mainly in Latin America and Asia, have investigated the impacts of CTs on poverty and food security and have, for the most part, found positive impacts, less is known about the impacts of CTs in Africa south of the Sahara, and, in particular, West Africa. Moreover, despite the fact that cash transfers have been shown to lead to decreases in poverty, improvements in household food security, and increases in health service utilization, impacts on children's nutritional status (including anthropometric measures) are generally small (Manley, Gitter, and Slavchevska 2013). Consequently, policymakers and governments are left with the question of how to design social safety nets, such as cash transfers, to achieve greater impact on diet quality, health, and nutrition. The overall goal of this research is to generate evidence and knowledge on an integrated program implemented by the Government of Mali that includes a combination of cash transfers and targeted nutrition interventions. The information generated will inform program implementers and policymakers about best options to improve food security and nutrition among vulnerable groups and individuals in West Africa. Specifically, the main objectives of the research are 1. To provide evidence on the contribution of integrated social transfer programs to enhancing household welfare, food security, dietary diversity, and maternal and child nutrition in West Africa. 2. To test different features and combinations of cash transfers and targeted nutrition interventions, and assess their impact on food security and maternal and child nutrition and health outcomes in Mali. 3. To generate knowledge regarding the pathways of impact of these different program packages, identify the most effective and efficient modalities in the context of Mali, and derive lessons learned for other countries in the region.
